Shots Fired at White House Correspondants Dinner

[DBCowboy]

Post some sources because all I see is Trump and Levitt mentioning that social media is promoting rhetoric linked to Trump and Fascism.

What was your source for your previous post?

Waltz for one

'Let that sink in,' Gov. Walz calls Trump a 'Fascist,' during visit to Green Bay

No.

There is passive media influences.

Just watch CNN, PBS, MS-Now, etc.

You cannot just blanket negate the hateful rhetoric constantly from the left.

Hateful rhetoric is one of the cornerstones of America politics and has been for decades.

People unfortunately love it, which is why there are more pundits than journalists and politicians compete as to who can load more buzzwords into a statement.

We could make it illegal and it’s not going anywhere. Pandora’s box is open.

The same thing. Over and over with many of you. 

Trumps fault. 
Staged.
Fake.
Taking away rights. 

Folks. A president is actively being hunted by people who are driven to do this by rhetoric from the media, social media, music and the arts. This is not right. 

Each president we have had has said things MANY people have not liked but not one since JFK has had at least 3 near missed inclluding one where he was shot. 

Grow up folks.

Trump has weaponized his social media platform to verbally attack his "enemies" which consists of anyone who stands in opposition of him

He is the "Master Troll" and his base loves it

But much of his speech is hate filled and often vicious and inflammatory 

If he wants the speech from the left 'toned down', he needs to set the example

Insults are a far cry from planning, promoting killing.

Prove me wrong.

I wouldn’t try, those are two very different things.

I would only note that an utterly vast majority of rhetoric and discourse is not planning or promoting killing. Even if it’s distasteful or abhorrent.

Im not even saying this is all a good thing. I haven’t had cable in over a decade and don’t listen to pundits on either side. I personally don’t see any value in them. It’s vitriolic garbage for people who need to feel validated by hubristic views from people on TV/radio.

Waltz for one

'Let that sink in,' Gov. Walz calls Trump a 'Fascist,' during visit to Green Bay

Walz said that after Trump said this:

"Walz first made this characterization in October 2024 during a rally in Green Bay, Wisconsin, where he cited former Joint Chiefs of Staff Chairman Mark Milley’s assessment that Trump is a "fascist to his core," following Trump’s suggestions to use the military against domestic political opponents."

--------

That is fascism.

-----

"Donald Trump suggested deploying the National Guard or the U.S. military against domestic political opponents he labeled "the enemy from within" and "radical left lunatics" during a October 2024 interview with Fox News. 

• Context: Trump made these remarks in response to questions about potential Election Day chaos, stating that the primary threat would not come from his supporters or foreign actors, but from Americans opposing him. 
  
• Specific Targets: He explicitly identified political adversaries, including Rep.  Adam Schiff and later Nancy Pelosi, as dangerous enemies who required military handling if necessary. 
  
• Reactions: The proposal drew sharp criticism from the Harris campaign, who described it as a dangerous authoritarian threat, and sparked concern among military officials regarding the legal and ethical implications of such orders" (LLM)

So the fascism rhetoric applies in certain instances when it comes to Trump's ramblings.

Prove me wrong.

"Donald Trump has made multiple threats involving violence and death against various groups and individuals, ranging from political opponents to foreign nations. 

• Iran and Civilian Infrastructure: In April 2026, Trump threatened that "a whole civilization will die tonight" if Iran did not reopen the Strait of Hormuz, stating he would target bridges, desalination plants, and energy infrastructure.  He also ordered the U.S. military to "shoot and kill" Iranian small boats deploying mines in the Strait. 
  
• Political Opponents and Congress: In November 2025, Trump was accused by Congressman Jim McGovern of issuing a "death threat" against Members of Congress after stating that military personnel who refused illegal orders should be "punishable by death." Historically, he has threatened specific figures like Liz Cheney with being shot and called for the death penalty for drug dealers" (LLM)
